Delicious Soups Perfect For The Cool Weather

While fall and impending winter may tempt you to store your barbecue for the season, resist the urge. Grilling is a year-round activity, and in the winter, a backyard barbecue including warm, flavorful grilled meals and accompanying warming side dishes is particularly pleasurable. During this season, soups go well with your favorite autumn and winter beverages as a side dish or starter. Soups are a crowd-pleaser since they taste well and require no effort. Make a supper or a side dish that the whole family, including the kids, will love by using seasonal vegetables and topping them with all your favorite toppings.

In the chilly weather, try these mouthwatering soups:

A Half Teaspoon of Salt
Grinder-milled black pepper
Parsley, chopped, for garnishing
Pepitas, toasted for serving
Serving bread of your preference
Oil should be heated over medium heat in a big saucepan. Cook the onion until it’s tender, then season with pepper and salt to taste. Cook the squash for approximately 10 minutes, stirring periodically, until it is just starting to soften. Throw in some aromatics like garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. The broth should be poured in and brought to a boil. Reduce heat and cover after boiling has occurred. If you want soft squash, cook it for 25-30 minutes.

When done, let the soup cool somewhat before pouring it into a blender (in batches, if necessary). Put everything in the blender and mix until it’s smooth. If it’s too thick, thin it out with a little more broth, and season to taste. Place in dishes and garnish with parsley and pumpkin seeds. Serve with the bread of your choice.
